Disclosed is an optical fingerprint acquisition apparatus capable of reducing an image distortion and a size of an optical system by deforming the shape of a prism. The prism according to the invention includes a fingerprint contacting surface to be touched by a fingerprint of a person, a totally reflecting surface facing the fingerprint contacting surface with an angle &thgr; for totally and inwardly reflecting the light scattered from the fingerprint in contact with the fingerprint contacting surface, a primarily projecting/re-incident surface linking the fingerprint contacting surface to the totally reflecting surface with an angle &phgr; for primarily projecting the light totally reflected from the totally reflecting surface so as to be re-incident from outside, and an ultimately projecting surface facing the primarily projecting/re-incident surface for ultimately projecting the light re-incident to the primarily projecting/re-incident surface toward outside.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of producing paste containing flaky aluminum powder, which is the main ingredient of the topcoat paint for automobiles. The present invention is intended to provide a production method, which is more economical than the conventional method of using the gas-atomozied powders. In particular, a vessel is charged with by-product scraps from the production process of aluminum foil, balls, mineral spirits, and an unsaturated fatty acid, such as oleic acid. Under such conditions, the ball-milling is carried out to yield an intermediate paste containing flaky aluminum powder, which is then made into aluminum paste by adjusting the amount of a solvent.

Abstract:
A touch sensing method for a touch screen including an image display device with a touch-sensitive screen. The method includes a filtering process that includes calculating an output signal of an nth frame from a sensing signal of the nth frame output from a touch sensing unit configured to sense touches of the touch-sensitive screen, the calculating using an equation F(n)=I(n)×W(n)+F(n−1)×[1−W(n)], wherein F(n) represents the output signal of the nth frame, I(n) represents the sensing signal of the nth frame, F(n−1) represents an output signal of an (n−1)th frame, and W(n) represents a filtering coefficient; and outputting the output signal of the nth frame to an output end. The filtering coefficient is calculated by an equation W ( n ) = I ( n ) - F ( n - 1 ) R , wherein R is a scale constant. The touch sensing method has high touch sensitivity in an environment with heavy noise while being capable of correctly detecting touch coordinates.

Abstract:
An AC-driven LED lighting apparatus comprises a rectifying circuit to rectify an AC voltage to convert the AC voltage to a DC rectified voltage, an LED block serving as a load receiving a current from the rectifying circuit and including at least one LED, a current source to adjust a current supplied to the LED blocks, and a controller to calculate a sinusoidal designed current value based on the AC voltage, to provide the calculated designed current value to the current source, and to perform a control operation to supply only the designed value to the LED blocks by adjusting voltage drop caused at the current source if the current supplied to the LED blocks is greater than the designed current value. The designed current is changed if the AC voltage is changed, so that the brightness of the LED lighting apparatus is constantly maintained.
